Mom's Minute: The fanny pack that's actually a diaper bag

Mom’s Minute review of the Kibou Diaper Bag fanny pack

As a minimalist when it comes to bags, I often find myself in a tricky spot—trying to balance carrying all the essentials for kids without feeling like I'm lugging around the whole house.

Most diaper bags on the market come in styles like backpacks, totes and crossbody bags, ranging anywhere from around $50 to over $200, but they tend to be bulky and overstuffed.

That's why I was instantly drawn to the Kibou Diaper Bag Fanny Pack. It’s a compact, sleek solution that defies the traditional "diaper bag" bulk, offering the perfect blend of practicality and style. The brand provided me with their best-selling Travel Diaper Bag so that I can try it out for myself.

What sets this bag apart is its thoughtful design -- it’s not just for when you're in the baby phase but well beyond. In fact, I still use mine regularly, even though my kids have been out of diapers for years!

Features and what it can hold

The Kibou is packed with features that make it essential for any parent.

The built-in waterproof pocket is a game-changer. It can hold over 20 wet wipes for up to a week or keep a soiled onesie separate from your clean items in a pinch. Another win?

The detachable changing pad, which unfolds easily from the back flap, is perfect for quick, on-the-go diaper changes.

For the moms who like to stay organized (even in the chaos), there are slots for your credit cards and cash, so you don’t need to bring an extra wallet.

A key or pacifier hook ensures you won’t have to dig around for those small but critical items, and the 1.5-inch weight-bearing belt and buckle make it comfortable to wear.

As someone who appreciates durability and eco-conscious products, I love that the exterior is made from high-quality recycled vegan leather that's durable, wipeable and stylish. The interior is equally practical with its stain-resistant nylon lining and waterproof pocket, making it both parent- and kid-friendly.

In short, the Kibou is the minimalist's dream bag for parents, and I recommend it to every new mom I meet! Even though I'm long past the diaper stage, it’s still my go-to for quick outings because it’s versatile, functional, and stylish all in one.

Plus, the bag is currently $30 off, so if you're on the fence, be sure to grab one now. Check it out below, as well as the various add-ons you can shop for!
